My son always asks for this guilt-free frozen yogurt pie for his birthday. Complete with peanut butter, fudge topping and nuts, it tastes ice cream parlor-good…but it's healthier. —Margaret Hanson-Maddox, Montpelier, Indiana

Tip

Sundaes Best

When you're short on time, you can easily add some frosty fun to dinnertime by serving up a variety of toppings and sauces and letting family members concoct their own scrumptious sundaes. Or scoop up one of these sweet and simple suggestions and treat your family to a refreshing dessert:

  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over a scoop of strawberry ice cream and top with sliced berries and kiwi. Dollop with whipped cream.
  • Instead of the usual chocolate sauce, top vanilla ice cream with warmed orange marmalade and a few fresh berries.
  • For a super chocolaty treat, place a scoop of chocolate or chocolate mint ice cream on a brownie and pour on the hot fudge sauce. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle with peanuts and accent with a maraschino cherry or a chocolate kiss.
  • Like s'mores? You'll love this! Dress up a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Give a tropical-flavored ice cream added appeal with canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Serve with gingersnaps.

Made this for a church dinner and it was a hit. However, I could not get the "crust" to stick together. I did not use reduced fat butter, which may have been the reason. I wound up making it in a 9x13 glass dish. The fudge/peanut butter topping must be warmed in order for it to spread easily. I think next time I will just make rice krispie treats for the crust.

Made this for my son who likes peanut butter. He said it was good.

Laughed at the description - "guilt-free" and "healthier." It's a lot of sugar to be healthy. Still tastes good though.

I added some coconut to the crust and finely diced pecans on top
